CONSERVATORIES. — People who a .tgoodjudges say, that Clinton's two con- servatories o sservatories — one owned by T. Cottle, And the other by J.

R. trainmen, and last wet k were informed that their tiguies were ac- cepted, and a large numherof uniforms were ordered. This will keep their large staff of employees hustling, and shows that this enterprising firm are able to meet all competition. THIS QUARTER SESSIONS.—All the witnesses in the Oakes -Baker case were summoned to Goderich on Tuesday, hut the case had not been called up to Wednesday night; if not settled out of court, it and the Jones -Baker case were to be proceeded with yesterday. — J3hn Foster, of town, is a member of the Grand Jury.—The only case dispos- ed of, a to Wednesday night, was that of Mrs Hatter, Exeter, forrnerly of Clinton, against her landlady. for wilfully smashing the windows of the house, smashing furniture, and causing her a protracted illness; Mrs Hatter claimed $200 damages, and the jury gave her $125.—On Thursday Gus Spar - ling, of Seaforth, was found guilty of ineeiidiarisin. [Since the above was in type - we hear the assault oases have been settled sonc othiers, have, we understand, practically s, de- cided not to rebuild • their tannery; the state of the leather business is too un- certain to warrant it. Henry Cole has ordered an Esperenza marble monu- ment from Seale & Hoover, to be erect- ed° in the Clinton cemetery to the d memory of his deceased son William. r The Albert Knox, of Toronto, who was accidentally killed on Sunday, and son of Arthur Knox, is not an old Clint .on - f' ion, as supposed by many. Base fish- ing commenced on Thursday. Flour + has dropped in price, in harmony with The the drop in wheat. On Tuesday Messrs Doherty & Co. shipped a couple of choice horses to a purchaser in New Brunswick; one of them was Mr Doher- ty's fine driver. On Monday the May- or and Town Clerk were each required to sign their names 491 tunes, and it was no slight undertaking; they were signing $500 debentures and the cou- o pons for interest attached thereto. We are indebted to the Goderich Sig- nal for our report of County Council proceedings. Jas. Fair, sr., cut a six acre field of hay on Saturday. Sid Smith, jeweller, left this ween for Na - r • pinker, Manitoba, where, he intends to open up a shop; he is a good, reliable workman, and intends to "grow up with the country."

Those who wish to hear Godfrey's band at Goderich, on Monday, should secure their tickets at Jeckson Bros. at once. as those allot- ted Clinton are being rapidly taken up; a special train will bring passengers back the same evening. A certain Olintonian, who promised a friend he would go to the station to see him off to the West, went down Wednesday in blissful ignorance of the tact that the friend, with the knowledge 'of his acquai ntances, had left a week before. After the holidays Inspector Robb will take up his residence in Brussels; he has been wanting to do this for some time because it is the centre of his Inspectorate, and his fine house was advertised for sale with that end in view; he has 123 schools to look af- ter, one of which is situated on the borders of Wellington County, and the extra driving he has to do by rea- son of living in Clinton is more than he cares for ; we are sorry to lose him for he is a first-class citizen. Walter Turnbull has disposed of several of his Belgian hares; those not sold he sent horns to the fat m at Milverton. On Saturday two hounds from town got on the track of a fox, which they fol- lowed until Sunday night, when they captured it, and returned to town on Monday, both completely used up by the the length of the chase. The Clin- ton station has been relieved of all ad- vertising matter; this has been done in accordance with an order recently sent out over the Grand Trunk sys- tem ordering all advertising matter to be removed from all waiting rooms alongthe line. Early Monday morn- ing there was quite a fall of hail in this vicinity, and the thermometer dropped frdm 860 to 400 in acouple of hours On Wednesday three men whose ages average 80 years each, happened to meet on the street; they were E. Dinsley, 83; S. Hill, 80, and Andrew Stinson, 95; a conple of them are yet in their prime.

Wheatley was engag- ed nga ed with the road machine in trying t repair a poi tion of the Bayfield roe just below the G.T.R. It was a deeps Italy hard piece of road to wor k and IIs Hr"st misfortune was to break the ongue of the scraper. Some time af- ter 'ter tiiis had been repaired,the machinedropped into a bog hole and upset R-ttrrowitig himself and driver off. Th scraper was extricated without further trap.

There is one boy in town, at any rate c who is taking a deep interest in horti r cultural matterd, and who is deserving of, commendation, for he has a first class flower garden, well kept, and al the result of his own labor. We refs to Master James Keane, a boy about 11 years of age, who has twelve differ -ent:varieties of flowers under excellent l�tlltivati°n. The fact than he reside ltriose''to Joseph Wheatley, who is 'glen -known horticulturist,may partial account for his zeal in this direction. i het`e'may be other boys in town who serve just RS much credit, and when "far of them will make the matte tablic. l%oNORs t,OR HURON Boys. -In the May published results of the 2nd ea;V: Law Exaroinations at Osgoode the names of the follow - Huron boys appear:— passed with r4or'aan evidence, torts and personal opetty: Anson Spotter), Gorr ie, and :;$tanbury,Bayfield.

On the average perhaps that's about right, but when you read ours please know we write them on the net plan. You need not discount them. Facts are good enough for our use, and in the general sense you will find the goods quite equal in value to the many "bargains" you read about where all kinds of strong words are used to induce the ides of cheapness, undue generosity, and �'IAlay Under Prices For Comfort's Sake during the hot weather folks want to get next to that ; that's next #;� _lrfbg. That something that is next nothing is a Hammock when pro-perly sus- pended. It's a good plane to redline without the heat of a bed; it's good for a sleep; good for a rest; a good plane to read or study.

Taylor & Clinton FOOTBALL NOTES. — The football match between Kippen and Clinton was played here last Friday evening in spite of the unfavorable weather. A fair sized crowd was present. The game was at times loose owing to the wet grass. Kippen, as was seen, was out of practice. On account of some delays in starting, the game was scarcely fin- ished before dark. Clinton's goal was seldornly in danger, while repeated at- tacks where made on the Kippen goal. At half time Clinton had scored one, and with this encouragement raised it to two in the second half. Dr. Agnew, of town, officiated as referee. Clinton lined up as follows: Kelly, goal; Smith, Switzer,' backs; Hearn, Jowett, Boles, half -backs; Whitley, Campbell, Scott, Murdock,Martin,forwards. The Maple Leat football club of Carberry, Man., champions of Manitoba and North West Territories for 1895, 96,97 are now making tour through Eastern Canada, and will play a match with our ,Col- legiate team, on Monday, June 20th. The Collegiate team is greatly strength- ened by the return of some of the old players, and the boys are practising hard every day. Lovers of football are sure to see a fast and scientific game when these teams meet. The game will be called at four o'clock in the Recreation Park. Admission, ladies, 10 cents, gentlemen, I5 cents. Murcaravous BOYS. — The boys of Clinton are not, as a rule, bad boys, nor does it follow that when they do things they should not they are irre- deemably depraved; we believe that most parents are more than anxious that their boys should not do anything improper, and perhaps a little more firmness and discipline on their part would not be amiss. The Mayor has this week had brought to his attention cer tain irregularities, and been called upon to give "fatherly advice" in cases where fines were impracticable, and he desires to give a word of advice to boys as well as parents for future guidance, with the hope that the parents will caution their children and thus avoid the necessity of their being summoned for infraction of the law. Very few persons care to lay a complaint against boys, and only do so when patience has ceased to be a virtue. Itis a breach of the peace for boys who engage in a friendly scuffle to shove one or other through the window of a business man; it is also costly; don't do it, boys. It is a breach of the peace for boys in search of birds' eggs to tramp over the garden or property of another,it is tres- passing in the first instance, and rob- bing birde' nests is illegal as well; don't do it, boys, for it may cost you more than you could possibly value the eggs at. It is a breach of the law to go into the garden of anyone and pick flowers or fruit without their consent; don't do it. It is a serious breach of the peace to carry flre-arms, particularly pistols or revolvers, and use them, even for a joke; boys who do so are liable to a very heavy fine or imprisonment. There are many other things that are wrong to do, but these things have been done recently, and they must not be repeated. There is another thing that has got to stop—and this is a word of advice to the larger boys — that is loafing in the doorway of stores, and disfiguring rho premises with tobacco slime, A word to the wise should be sul3ficient; if it is not, then the law will take its count.. • Fine Merchant ckson Bros• - Tailors and Men's In the Brg Store = -/F Furnishers. It is Values that eount During the history of our busi- ness we have never given the buying public such good value for their money as we have this season. It is values that count every time.
